Re: Turbo lt1

If you have 2 GN turbos that could be fun on a street car. A single will be too small on a 5.7L motor. For a single I would look at a TC78 from Turbonetics or something similar. For 5 PSI you'll want to invest in a good wastegate (44mm or larger).

Re: Turbo lt1

I would seriously consider better options. The GN turbos are 30 year old technology at this point and they're small to boot. A single TC series turbo or something similar would spool faster, be more efficient and be a lot less of a headache. You also don't have to try to package two of them.
